On Holidays

I'm on holidays at the moment, which is why my blogging is a little slow. At the moment I'm kicking back on the Gold Coast and having a very relaxing and lazy time. For instance today I've been out on a boat for a while, watched Happy Feet with the kids, played a bit of Zelda, read a bit of "Into a Dark Realm" and basically done not much of anything.

Last night, the family went to the Outback Spectacular near Wet 'n Wild - and it was a fantastic night. Great food, top notch show, and some awesome equestrian skills on display. If you get a chance to go, I'd recommend taking it.

This holiday I've also taken along the Wii so I could have a play with some of my Christmas presents. As it turns out, the rest of the extended family has gotten hooked on it. Wii Sports in particular has really hit the sweet spot for people - from my kids through to their grandparents; everyone is playing and everyone is having a great time. Normally I'm the only one who plays games, but with the Wii not only can everyone play but everyone wants to! So much so that I've gone out looking for two more remotes so that we can have 4 player games and one of the other people has decided to get one for themselves as soon as they get home.

The holiday continues for another week and I'm off to Dreamworld and Sea World in the next few days, as well as catching the fireworks for New Years Eve tomorrow.

2006 has been a big year, and I'm sure 2007 will be even bigger! Happy new year to all!
